How much does a handyman cost in Irving, TX?

I’m Chance O’Shel, owner of The Smart Fix Handyman. These are 17 jobs from our handyman services in Irving, finished between March and September 2026, each shown with its full price.

Irving had a split. Most jobs were small, but a few big outdoor projects pulled the average far above the middle price. I’ll show both, so a deck rebuild doesn’t become your budget for a loose towel bar.

Why is the Irving handyman average so much higher than the median?

Larger outdoor projects explain much of the gap. A $6,970 deck job and a $5,820 exterior trim job pulled the Irving average up to $1,132. The median job cost $392.

Eleven of the 17 Irving jobs were under $500. Six were under $250. Only three reached $1,000 or more. If you need one small repair, the middle of the range tells you more than the average.

The $5,820 job repaired soffit, fascia and trim, then painted them with two coats. It also included soffit replacement, a fan replacement and two gate boards. For exterior trim repair, list each part of the house you want checked. A good quote makes clear which surfaces get repaired and which get paint.

What did the $6,970 Irving deck project include?

The $6,970 Irving deck job removed old deck boards and a wood railing. It added waterproofing layers over the existing frame, composite decking and a cable railing system.

The notes listed 90 square feet of deck work and 30 feet of railing. Materials came to $2,420. Dividing the total by the deck area would fold the removal and railing into one number. That number wouldn’t mean much.

For deck work, show us the surface and the frame below it. Say if you want the railing changed too. Those choices belong in the plan before we talk about a unit price.

Why did hanging a towel bar in Irving cost $333?

The $333 Irving towel bar job was more than hanging a bar. We made and mounted a pine support board, fitted the customer’s bar to it and painted the board.

The customer supplied the bar and the paint. That’s more work than fastening a bar straight to the wall. When you describe a loose fixture, send a photo of the mounting holes. A wider view helps us see if a support board would suit the space.

The $656.50 baseboard job also went past the basic task. We took off the damaged trim, prepped the wall and fitted new baseboard. Priming and painting were part of the price.
